Need oil pan gasket

Scott & Heather · February 24, 2020, 05:18:47 PM

Where do I purchase an oil pan gasket for my 8v92? Mine is leaking badly, it appears to be some sort of blue rubber silicone thing.

Is it the gasket leaking or the isolators on the bolts ,those pans take a special bolt with isolators so you can not overtighten the silicone gasket on the pan plus it has less bolts, so it is Detroit or PC Industries lol hold your breath when you get the price a $100.00 for the set

Each bolt seems to have its own blue rubber washer is that what you're talking about?

Yep isolators a good set up that is what Detroit used on the late model 8V92's

So I'm just going to order the whole set. Anyone know the torque on these,

26 lbs make sure the bolts are right they have a shoulder that bottoms out( self spacing) as long as they are tight torque really doesn't play into much on that setup, you cannot just use plain old ACE Hardware bolts with threads or you over tighten and it will cost you another gasket fwiw when you remove the pan you will notice the bolt holes are larger in the pan for the shoulder I think they 7/16 holes and thread is 3/8th

Ok. Can I get the bolts from PC if I need them too?

luvrbus · February 24, 2020, 06:38:55 PM

Yes they have those lol I am not home or I could send you the bolts if you need them

Scott & Heather · February 24, 2020, 06:51:55 PM

I need a picture of them to know whether or not mine are that type.

Take 1 out and post a photo someone here can tell you if the bolts are the right ones for the pan

Mine is leaking good too, I was planning to take the pan off, run a bead of permatex on the pan edge, carefully install the pan, run the bolts in until it makes contact with the block. Let it set then tighten a bit more for a good seal.

Would that not work?

On the older Detroits used a cork gasket for the oil pan with the 2 raised rails on the pan and a paper gasket for the non raised rails pans .I change the gaskets from time to time where owners use the wrong gasket and used RTV.Scotts oil pan uses a different sealing system than a older engine he has a reusable gasket.
